Conference Objectives

The constituent conference conducted by Department of Civil Engineering of GECT as a part of ICETEST 2018 is on the enabling theme of Civil Engineering Advancements for Sustainable Infrastructure Development and Environment and is aptly titled CEASIDE-2018.
With majority of the countries on the globe facing the threat of environmental degradation and consequent crunch in natural resources such as water, studies on the causes, effects and prevention of such degradation have attracted the attention of engineers and scientists all over the world. Several decades of experience in this field has led to revelation that developments in any area should be environmentally sustainable.CEASIDE-2018 aims at creating on a single platform a highly desirable confluence of the academia, the practitioners, and the researchers associated with the field. The delegates can share their experiences, achievements and findings derived from their research, field practice and implementation, and even the teaching-learning process. This will enable them to sharpen their faculties in all perspectives of the subject to help them keep abreast of the latest developments, build research and academic relationships, and also identify areas and agencies for future mutually beneficial collaborations. In tune with the above objectives, the Conference Secretariat requests the pleasure of participation from researchers, practitioners, academia and all interested in/associated with the theme of Prospering World through Sustainable Development by contributing research papers/articles for oral/posterpresentation as well as by attending the conference. The papers may be related to one or more of the topics listed in the Section on Conference Topics.

About ICETEST

Government Engineering College Trichur (GECT) has been organizing its biennial International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering, Science & Technology (ICETEST) since 2009 and the last one in the series was conducted in the year 2015. Overwhelming response to past conferences has inspired us to keep up the momentum by launching ICETEST 2018. The conference is being held from 18th to 20th January 2018 and the main conference theme is Society, Energy and Environment. The fact that GECT is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee year in 2017-18 makes this edition of ICETEST all the more special. As has been the tradition, ICETEST 2018 would be realized by the fulfillment of eight constituent international conferences; one each held in the Departments of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Production Engineering, Computer Science and School of Architecture. These constituent conferences are on sub-themes of current topics / developments in the respective disciplines, with focus on the main theme Society, Energy and Environment.

Conflict between Energy and Environment has been of global significance lately and academic research need to support the industry and society through socially and environmentally sustainable outcomes. The conferences aim to discuss and disseminate major advances in technologies for Society, Energy and Environment. Apart from the customary plenary sessions, the international conference will include keynote speeches, lectures on state of the art technology, panel discussions, oral presentation sessions and poster presentations. Outstanding speakers, faculty and scholars from all over the world will present their research in modern technologies, providing solutions using sustainable technologies. We sincerely hope that the blend of pleasant weather and beautiful landscapes of Kerala, rich cultural heritage of Thrissur city, professional and social networking and warm hospitality will make the scientific event richer.
